Hi, I have BC++ 3.1 and I want to have a ASM/C(maybe C++ later) OSLoader
with 16-bit C startup code, 16-bit C code, 16/32-bit code starting right
after "call _main" in c0.asm for entering PMode and jump to 32-bit
kernel(VC++ 6.0), and last other support 16-bit asm codes for C loader code
to call...

Now I have tried this a year back(not as a 16-bit loader but as 32-bit RMode
basic kernel) and I had it written down on HD and the drive was format by
mistake and I can't rememeber everything that was need...

Now I have tried this week to recreate the c0t.obj so linking will work
for...

C0Start.asm...

extrn _main
..model tiny
org 000h
..code
_startup:

call _main
jmp short $

end _startup

OSLoader.cpp...

_extern void main()
{
 for(;;);
}

but tlink is not finding the entry point to line with cmline...

c:\bc31\bin\tasm.exe c0Start.asm, c0tStart.obj
c:\bc31\bin\bcc.exe -1 -c -mt -oOSLoad.obj OSLoad.cpp
c:\bc31\bin\tlink.exe /n /s /t c0tStart.obj OSLoad.obj, OSLoad.com

Any help to get this to link right...
